Reliable test automation, and test data creation with efficient support
The solution can be improved by removing the need for object matching in the framework. The latest version has increased load time before testing can be run. The reason is that changes were made to how it works with the browser and the startup takes some time. Adjusting those changes to speed up the load time will improve the solution.

Automation test development becomes accessible and effective for functional testers
Tricentis Tosca is a codeless tool, making it easy for everyone to understand the transition of how to develop scenarios or test cases. In Tricentis Tosca, analyzing failures is straightforward because every time it fails somewhere, I get the screenshot, which helps me analyze how and why it failed. It has all the modules, including some pre-built ones that can be reused efficiently. Compared to other code tools such as Selenium, where I used to develop one script in one day, with Tricentis Tosca I can easily develop one script in four hours or three hours, saving four to five hours in a day.

Automation has delivered strong ROI with AI-driven test prioritization and parallel reporting
The best feature of Worksoft Certify is the automatic report generation. Unlike traditional tools like Selenium or Java-based frameworks where reporting often requires custom coding, Certify handles this natively. We are currently utilizing the 14.5 version, which has modernized these capabilities, though we frequently manage backward compatibility for clients still running on the 12.x version series.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The technical support is good; at least their response time is good, and whenever we ask them for help regarding deployment customizations, custom code implementation, or other code needs, they heavily support us, assign us IT engineers who work alongside us helping with code-related issues, and stay until the problem is resolved."
"It is compatible with all sorts of Dark Net applications. Its coverage is very good."
"By automating regression test suites using this product, we were able to show time savings of more than 1200 hours in less than ONE year."
"It helps in automation by using better object recognition as compared to other tools in the market."
"The most valuable feature is the UI component tester."
"It is 100% compatible with all sorts of database integrations and is compatible with all types of open source TFT-based applications, which makes it a great product to have."
"Robust API provides quick turnaround for developers to understand and automate functional test case quickly."
"Test automation is most valuable because it saves a lot of time."
"Overall, by next year, we will be looking at a total reduction in testing costs of about $14 million, across the span of three years."
"We decided to go with Testsuite because you can integrate manual test cases and you can see the reports in a nice way and see how the test case is going in the requirement section."
"We have seen an ROI because we are able to automate test scripts much quicker."
"Tricentis Tosca is a fast-pace, ever-evolving test automation tool that can solve today's testing requirements and provide fast feedback."
"Tosca can go through platforms to make end-to-end testing across CRM, billing, provisioning, order management flow, and databases to check for errors."
"The scriptless automation tool is one of the important features."
"The model-based scriptless automation is the most valuable feature because it needs less maintenance as compared to script-based automation."
"Customer Service: Best I have ever seen. Technical Support: Best I have ever seen."
"We have seen that the initial Worksoft implementation has helped our customers reduce their testing cycle time by 50 percent, and with further continuous improvement, we have seen cycle time reduced up to 75 percent, which is the level of productivity achieved using Worksoft Certify."
"We are mainly using it for the SAP application, and for the SAP application, if you don't have any experience with automation tools, after a few training sessions, you can easily automate the scripts."
"During our yearly upgrades, we have now gotten them down to ten days or less."
"Using Certify, we have been able to bring testing timescales down from three to four weeks of manual effort to a few hours of automated testing, preventing major defects from going into production and saving significant time for business users to focus on value‑adding activities."
"Worksoft Certify has improved my organization by initially enabling us to transition from manual testers to automation, enhancing productivity by 50%."
"Automating our manual processes has saved us 70 to 80 percent of manual effort."
"It does allow for good reusability. When it's designed properly and utilized properly, we can put things in a way that allows for reusability, meaning a lot of reuse of VA01, if they're very similar flows, to keep it simple."
"Overall, my experience with Worksoft Certify has been very positive, particularly in the context of SAP automation."
 

Cons

"If in the future there is no support for mobile applications, then we will be using it less."
"It does not fully justify being a paid tool, and it needs improvement."
"As many of our products are moving from PC to mobile, the most important thing that this solution needs is mobile app support."
"If the solution is running on Linux, there are some issues around application compatibility."
"The object repository used for identifying objects can be made better. It has been noticed that the RFT tool is unable to identify some objects, due to which we are unable to add them to the object repository."
"If the solution is running on Linux, there are some issues around application compatibility."
"The latest version has increased load time before testing can be run."
"If you look at today's current context, I wouldn't recommend RFT because there are far more advanced solutions and products available."
"It requires some coding customization that requires expertise, so having free services along with the licenses would be good."
"Parallel execution is not yet implemented for Tosca. This means you can't execute the same test case on multiple machines remotely."
"One thing to improve in Tricentis Tosca is that it's not compatible with Excel based forms. Another area for improvement is that the tool is not compatible with OpenText applications. The support and licensing cost for it also need improvement. The tool also needs cloud support, as it's currently on-premises only."
"I would like to see more implementation of AI on the self-healing aspect."
"Some issues with stability, but those are minor errors."
"You need to spend much more time learning the tool and how to use it, compared to others."
"The only thing I am not happy about is not so much the product, but it's that we don’t a good way to control licenses."
"Running the regression – if multiple lists are executed at once or if a list contains 200+ tests, it’s a pain to stop the execution."
"They need to keep working on the mobile interface, the API part, and they need to improve more on web applications."
"I would like to see the impact analysis integrated with the performance testing tool. We have multiple tools doing multiple items; I would like to have one common tool."
"For points of improvement for Worksoft Certify, the first point is AI, the second one is technical support, and I feel that the UI improvements on Worksoft Certify over the last 11 years have been comparatively low compared to the competition in the market right now."
"On the Capture 2.0 topic, we were not satisfied, because we had a version that wasn't really tested from my perspective."
"I would like BPP to have more filtering options during the report creation."
"What could be improved in Worksoft Certify is its integration with other tools, for example, test management tools such as Jira, ALM, or any other test management tools."
"The web application should be more robust."
"In the past, when we've tried to automate some of our web apps, it has not been as robust. If there were one thing that could be improved, it's interaction with web applications. The issue we were running into is that it was harder to identify the objects than it is with some of the other architectured applications."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Licensing is good but the prices for the products are expensive. A single-user license may go for something like $10,000 to $30,000. There are no additional costs, and support is included within that price."
"I am satisfied with the cost."
"There are different types of licenses: enterprise or professional. The cost varies."
"Although the product is slightly more expensive than tools, its automation capabilities and reduced scripting needs justify the cost."
"The price of the tool is a problem for a lot of Brazilian clients or Latino clients, as it is expensive. Where I work, if one is low price and ten is high price, I rate the tool's price as a ten out of ten."
"I give the cost of Tricentis Tosca a six out of seven."
"Licensing fees are paid on a yearly basis."
"I would like to see better costing packs. There are several features but USD $11,000 for one license is expensive."
"Expensive, but for long-term projects, it is paying back."
"Purchasing and licensing are okay. Go for the perpetual licenses. In that way, you own a license, then you can purchase maintenance and support on top of that, so you don't have to pay every year for it. Even if you don't want it a contract with Worksoft Certify in the future, you will have your own license of it. Then, if your usage is not that much, you can have one or two perpetual licenses. However, if you want to run your processes, you will need more licenses, e.g., using the run-only licenses. They are really cheap compared to the full licensing."
"This solution has enabled us to automate in order to tremendously save time. Only first time when you are recording and creating the script will you spend some time with it, the rest of the time, you are just executing."
"By using automation, it reduced about 75 percent of the time when compared to any other tool."
"The typical range that we see is between 50 to 90 percent improvement in speed capabilities. Another aspect comes with the depth that they're able to test. It increases their capabilities overall to test at a broader level."
"The license cost is quite high. This might not be a consideration for a large company, but it will be for a small company. E.g., Tricentis (their competitor) offers certain exclusive use cases where a company can use it in a certain way, so this is another option that companies consider."
"We no longer need ten people sitting and manually testing something. We can just have one person running the entire regression automation testing suite, and this has saved us dollars."
"Worksoft Capture 2.0 can help our customers to accelerate their automation development at least 40 percent faster than any other commercial tools available in the market."
"I think they came out with a different type of licensing specifically for testing. Therefore, you don't have to use a more expensive user license, you can use an automation license. So potentially, if we had 100 use cases, we could spin up a 100 different machines, have them all run and be done in five minutes. That would be the goal, but I don't know if that would actually succeed or not."
